Creative Voicing
Creative Voicing is a course that unites dramatic writing with voice work. At the core of the work we will master Litwak’s Voice Progression a technique for warming up the body, voice and soul in preparation for expressive generosity. Its goal is to inspire people toward free, organic expression both physically and emotionally. This exciting training is based on the idea that we each have two voices: a physical voice that needs to be supple, strong and free and an inner creative voice that has something unique and true to express to the world. Each student will leave the course with a toolbox of techniques. This work can be used effectively with all types and ages of clients. It is also vital for therapists to have access to their full powerful supple range of voice for successful expression in the classroom, office with individuals and groups. In this course we will look at the relationships between Drama Therapy, Applied Theatre, Experimental Theatre, Traditional Theatre and Classical Theatre and how each of these forms can benefit individuals and communities towards meaningful personal and social change. We will explore elements of each of these disciplines through training and discussion. Moving back and forth between the purely theatrical and the more therapeutic aspects of the work, we will look at intimate meditative self-care at one end of the spectrum and utter geo-political generosity on the other. We will explore how to make great art that serves. Using Four modalities: Theatre, Drama Therapy, Applied Theatre, and Peace & Conflict Resolution with Three concentrations: Ensemble, Training, and Production implementing Two original techniques: The Progression and Creative Voicing to achieve One Mission: Personal and community transformation.
